Lyndon Johnson: “If our prices rise faster than those of our overseas competitors, our exports will suffer and our imports will grow.”

In that pursuit, Mr. President, United States support will be gladly given.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-third.

We are grateful for the impressive gesture of good will and partnership that you have extended to us.

I believe deeply in your cause and I believe in you.
